got ahead of ourselves and we never get ahead so. Yeah guys. Surprise to us. You're welcome. So what
have you been up to Sarah? Well it has been a hot two weeks. I turned 35. Woo woo. I moved into my
new apartment finally. Yes you did and it's so cute. Thanks. It's really all kind of put together
now. Did you have to move your shoes around? I so I went and helped like you did. I knew she was
going to because I was like I don't know what she's gonna do. No I didn't. Oh you didn't move your shoes around? No I had to put the third rack
together and put those shoes on there. Now I can close that closet door. Yeah I felt like I was trying to put
them order them with like either the type of shoe slash like winter summer but then it got hard
because I only had two shoe racks at the time and then I was like now you have so many shoes. I have
one whole sneaker rack and I love that. Okay good yeah. Yeah. Like that. Yeah so no I did not change
anything that you did. I just put the third one together. Cool. Yeah so it was a little hectic
and now Christmas is over so Merry Christmas everybody. Merry Christmas. Bladed. And guess what we
have some great news. We have a couple of great news. Yeah we do. Our friends Santana and Erin you
know the ones that I introduced we talked about them on the first episode with Mason. Santana and
Erin haven't been on on the podcast yet. Nope. But they got engaged. Woohoo! And they are gonna go to
Vegas and get married. They're so exciting. Yes so exciting. They're doing like a little elopement.
Elopement. Yeah there you go. Cantaloupe. So you know. Cantaloupe is that what we were. Yeah listen so when my
older brother Eric and his wife Robin got married or they were engaged they kept talking about like
not having a wedding or something and I was like really upset because I wanted to be in their
wedding and I wanted to be there and I said oh my gosh I was like you guys can watermelon but you
cantaloupe. That's a whole funny joke thing so you know whatever. Also um I um got back from Decatur where it's
greater. I was back to work for the first day and I was walking down the stairs and missed a cup either
one or two stairs. I'm not sure. It happened very fast and it was very painful but I. She has done
injured herself. I injured my ankle. It was a bad. I it I was oh it was bad. I had to like crawl. I was
outside of my condo. I was going down the stairs. I was bringing a box inside and um I couldn't see
the stairs and I don't know how it happened but it popped snap crackle pop boom and I screamed.
Honestly I don't know if I screamed. Was your neighbor home? No she wasn't but she came up so I had
called like a bunch of people and then finally um Catherine came over and kept and my other. Did she take you to the ER?
She took me to the yeah urgent care. I went to urgent care instead of the ER which honestly I should have
just gone well copay less and it's I'm not clogging up the ER right but like I'm pretty sure the ER
weight would have been like less time than the urgent care because I waited there well and they
did the x-ray immediately like they took me back to the x-ray and then they I sat up in the front
for like 30 minutes and then they put me in a room and I sat there for like an hour and a half another
hour and a half in the room by myself and I could hear people coming out being like hey I've been
waiting for two hours. I was like great I'm gonna be here forever and I was by myself so Catherine took
me and she stayed in the car and like worked and she said she was like I felt so bad because it was
like I think it was like 3 45 when it happened and I had to call my boss and be like um I have to take
the rest of the day off because I have to go to the emergency room because I'm pretty sure I broke
my ankle yeah it's not broken everybody it's not broken well you know why they do your x-ray
immediately is before the swelling really hits because if it's too swollen they won't be able
to tell if you broke any bones oh really so I mean it had already started swelling right like that
night it got so I couldn't sleep and when I was sitting there he came in and he was like they
well the girl asked me she was like well how much pain and so so in my head like at the time it
happened and like right after it was like a 15 pain out of yeah um I thought I was gonna die and
I was like I immediately knew I had to go to the emergency room or somewhere because I was like
this is messed it's it's bad but my friend my other neighbor Shelby she is in medical school
right now and she sent me this snapchat like a while back about the pain scale and like examples
of the pain scale and like a four was like your head gets cut off or something and I was like what
what she was like this is the worst pain scale and so that's so funny that you say that because my
we have a game at home that's called stuff happens and then they have one that's like worse
that's called shit happens but it that's what it does it gives you examples of like either scenarios
or um like painful situations and then it rates from zero to 100 and so you like pull a card or
whatever and you does everybody rate it everybody rates what you have in your hand and then if they
get it right they get the card and like a first person oh so it has a rating on it already but
you can rate in between like different cards like once you lay some cards down you'll say this is
your max number I'm gonna say it's between 85 and 94 or something like that yeah it's wild but it's
crazy like some people will rate like not having internet for two months worse than they would
having like a hangnail it's crazy I would definitely rate um not having hangnail no big deal
but yeah but yeah so like everybody's pain is different and so I just remember when she said
from one to ten what's your pain and I was like I mean I was remembering Shelby's like pain scale
thing and I was like I'm pretty sure a five is like your leg got cut off and a ten is like
you're dead yeah basically yeah like or like you're like got burned alive and you survived yeah
like yeah I don't know why I'm laughing it's not funny but no and so I was like well I think it's
like maybe like a four because I mean I was in pain but it wasn't it wasn't bad because it had
started it got so numb it's it's got so numb that like and it was swelling so much that I like
honestly got couldn't feel anything so I was in the room and the guy came in he actually knows
he was like you he said you look kind of familiar I was like well I work for the same place that you
work for and um he was like how do I know you and I was like well I don't know how do I know you
and he was like well I worked at all these other places and um I was like well I don't know and he
was like yeah it's smaller he was like maybe you've come in here before and I've seen you and I was
like well I've been here once but it was a long time ago and I don't think you saw I didn't see
you and um then later on our friend Jessica she was like my friend so-and-so works there and I
was like oh that's who I saw that's how I know him I was like okay um yeah so anyways I know him so that was
kind of cool but um he came in he was like how what's the pain feeling like and I was like I
mean honestly right now I don't feel anything it's it's like numb the whole thing's numb and um but
it was really swollen and he was like yeah it's really swollen he kind of looked at it and he was
like the radiologist said it's not broken but I'm gonna look at it again because I mean do you have
to go back well he set me up with orthopedic oh yeah doc surgeon or whatever yeah and so I've got
an appointment on Tuesday I don't know like I feel like I'm getting better the swelling's going down
I have a boot and crutches I think you need to be diligent about not walking on it all the time even
though that is a walking boot right and make sure you still elevate yeah I've been trying to do that
so like I think people don't I had that the same thing happened to me on my but was my left ankle
and this was like years ago over 10 years ago but people don't realize like even the feel of like
sheets on top of your foot oh my gosh yes it's awful yeah no like and so the I had a wrap first
because they didn't have a boot when I went so I had to go back the next day or yesterday I went
back yesterday to get the boot so they wrapped it in like an ace bandage and gave me an extra one
which ain't doing squat it actually helped the compression it helped I mean some yeah but not
yeah when I went to bed I was like oh I feel it's like so so like halfway through night the night I
would like rip it off and I'd be like uh the dogs but my dogs I have all these dogs and I have stairs
to get in and out of my in any way you go you have stairs to get there's no way for you to post up
in on one floor really unless you slept on the sofa for well I did I slept on the sofa until last
night because I got the boot and I yeah it helped me walk and so I got downstairs and I was finally
like I and I changed my sheets to my new sheets that I got for Christmas night yeah um so I slept
there last night it was nice but um I don't know I've got it's probably just a really bad sprain
brain um so that's that's my situation right now oh yeah and then also my little brother Daniel
and um his girlfriend Elizabeth who you know we kind of almost killed at Thanksgiving
if you listen to the Thanksgiving episode poor Elizabeth I know well who's our number one fan
by the way right she's the best they are well they're in Germany right now they were on their
way last night and I suppose I guess they left yesterday I don't know when they left but he
proposed to her on the airplane to Germany yeah they're engaged yay congratulations guys they're
in Germany on fiance yeah almost new sister yay I've never had so I've never had a real sister
except for so I only have two brothers so when I got my Robin my sister-in-law was so nice to have
like a girl you know and then now I get to have Elizabeth as my other sister but I mean honestly
she's already been there and we all we have the same initials and that isn't that weird oh I don't
know if she I don't know if she's gonna change her name up you know I'm assuming she might but
like honestly if she doesn't I don't blame her like I've literally thought about not changing my name
yeah like I cannot imagine I'll put it on Facebook having a different name but I can't well also I
don't want to be Sarah Wright whatever because Sarah Wright whatever like that's just weird I
would be Sarah Elizabeth whatever but I don't know if I want to drop right well that's how my mom my
mom didn't hyphenate her or not hyphenate but like keep she didn't she kept her middle name yeah okay
and I like that idea yeah but you know I like thinking about having a different last name is
the weirdest thing for sure yeah I remember so I went to DC I think it's probably because like
we're both you know well you're almost 35 but like 35 whole years with this last name I don't know if
I want to give it up but also like even when I was younger I don't know I could never imagine myself
having a different last name there are some people that like dream of that and they'll be like oh do
you want to know why I dreamed of it though because I 1 000 percent did because I am a w okay and w
is at the end of the alphabet and I was like I want something no but I want something different
but now I'm like I don't think so is still at the end listen I already said that I was like you're
not giving me much in this alphabet game right sir I mean so c is actually really good my last
name is starts with a c so you don't you're not first but you're not you're like right after first
so there was literally one per two people that graduated in my class after me that had the last
name young oh so I was literally had to sit there which granted we only had like a hot 86 89 people
in my class so not super long but I mean I had to wait yeah there's only two people behind me it's
so funny that they do it by like your last name and stuff I guess they're trying to make it fair
but honestly it's not really fair because some people it would this is like a um what do we call
it this is a privilege not a privilege it's like last name privilege oh like my like I'm privileged
because my last name I didn't choose my last name I mean granted you still would have to sit there
the whole time you know while other people walk or whatever but I mean I remember when you're done
yeah but I remember going to Jerry's college graduation and like you just wrote your name on
a card and then like right walked up there and there's not and now and that would be the greatest
thing that ever happened yeah yeah let these kids go whenever who cares well they do that but I think
they do it by I can't remember how they lined us up we had to get in certain lines but like in that
line we just had a writer name on a card or whatever for high school even no this is no high
school right I'm sure it was alphabetical yeah oh no it might have been yeah it's probably
alphabetical it should it should go by like your rank in the class though so everybody knows how
stupid you are I would have graduated earlier in that line if we had gone by rank oh well that's
good yeah okay listen I was like in the first like 20th percentile I have no idea what I would have
I mean I'm sure I was I was 21st but I don't know what honestly I used to check that all
the time did you how many people did you graduate with though I just said 86 to 89 like a small
number so like I was in the top 25 percentile well that's good I probably would have been at the top
percentile if I had graduated with that many people too anyway okay so so so congratulations
Daniel and Elizabeth also Santana and Erin we are so happy for you guys um you got that fmk for us
today I'm gonna go with movies okay and we're gonna go with days of thunder I have never seen
that I have to google it days of thunder talladega nights or fast and furious movies what is days of
thunder okay so hold on it's an old tom cruise movie okay so I've never seen that so I excellent
uh this is a hard one for me because I have never seen it but I feel like it's got does it have it
has Nicole Kidman in it so I feel like I might like that one yeah um what was the second one
talladega nights okay so merry talladega nights
fuck days of thunder which I don't know um I've never seen it so hope but and but like kill the
what was the other one it was fast and fast and furious for sure kill that kill it I can't I love
those movies they were on last night that's yes I'm obsessed listen Paul Walker his death broke my freaking heart okay
oh my god I was like probably 30 when it happened but I was so upset oh my god so I am going to
I'm gonna fuck fast and furious I'm gonna kill talladega nights nobody wants to be married to
that garbage oh and I do I would I'm marrying it because because it's it's so funny like no I'm
a very I'm a merry days of thunder but like you those movies are not like like first of all I've
never seen days of thunder talladega nights it's just a funny movie and you can watch it all the
time I do love it but I love fast and furious way more god that is the weirdest thing that is so
weird to me like Sarah fast and furious I don't even care leave me alone okay let's see okay so
let's do um since it's like the holiday time sure Christmas Thanksgiving and New Year's Eve um okay
don't SOS please don't hate me for this one but I am marrying Thanksgiving I'm fucking New Year's
and I'm killing Christmas really why I think I associate well Thanksgiving I love Thanksgiving
foods casserole for life love it I you know how I feel about these casseroles up in here
I'm not a huge fan of Christmas like I don't really like Christmas music like I can get into
the spirit for like a handful of days but like I'm not going ham for like 25 days okay and then I
love New Year's because I like New Year's Day because I do fat snack day with Melanie and we
have like big charcuterie boards and we get drunk again and it's just like super fun so that's one
of my favorite holidays ever because of that tradition right so that's why I'm going with
that I don't know I said this is that one's a hard no hey I'm Jesus or anything like that
you know nobody's saying anything about yeah no I'm I actually didn't even think about what I would
do before we did this so I'm kind of just thinking about it set me up I think I might I don't know I
might marry Christmas fuck fuck I feel like you're marrying Christmas just because you love to see
people open the gifts that you give no I don't I hate what I thought I'm not I do I don't like
I don't like opening presents in front of other people and I don't like when people open their
presents in front of me really yeah like I thought you were gonna be like so stoked to give the kids
their gifts oh I did I was so that's that's different with the little kids yeah yeah so yeah that was fun but like
also I don't I don't like giving I don't know I'm just like I like I love it getting the gifts but
like I feel weird when I'm like opening them and I'm like I don't want them I want to I don't want
them to think I'm being fake but I also and like not always react appropriately reacting and like
oh my gosh like even if it's something amazing I'm like oh my god I'm so excited about this but like
I some people I feel like think you need to be like jumping up and down what was your favorite
gift that you got well I can't say because some people like it or feelings hurt but of course I
got okay I'm just gonna tell you I got some new airpod maxes and they're amazing they're Daniel
and Elizabeth gave them to me they're the best I also I also got some some jewelry from my parents that are
it's like really good jewelry some earrings and some bracelets I love them I got some sheets
stuff like that so you know so I'm gonna I'm gonna marry Christmas because the reason I'm marrying
Christmas is because I like usually for Christmas I take off a little bit a couple extra more days
from work and I get I go home and it's more relaxing I get to hang out my whole family usually is
there we do Christmas Eve yeah and then Christmas day is usually pretty chill because all the kids
nowadays it is because everybody's had kids yeah and they go home for their Christmas for Santa
Claus and stuff like that so we kind of just chill out and whatever and then and my mom cooks really
good food she did really good food she always does but um I think I'm gonna honestly I might
marry so I said a Merry Christmas killing New Year's Eve and fucking Thanksgiving I guess or
it might be the other way around I think that Thanksgiving I don't like that it's in the middle
of the week I wish that it could be on the weekend do you not get Friday off well I do but like I
just don't like taking days off because I can take I can take my time is like not like oh you have to
take Friday off yeah it's just like if and I could I could work on Thanksgiving if I wanted to right
um but I just would rather it be like on the weekend but you know Christmas is not always
on the weekend either right but New Year's is different so I feel like every year is something
different I like it I think it's fun but it's always like hard to find something fun to do
because you're if you go out it's packed everywhere yeah you gotta get reservations it's really
expensive blah blah blah but then you've got to have somebody that's willing to like open their
home which this year thank goodness Rose and DJ are opening their house to us to come over
and have a party um I know I'm kind of having a little bit of FOMO but I'm really excited for
my New Year's plans I'm like I'm like FOMO but like for you because I want you to be there I know I
want to be there but I mean I have been doing New Year's with Melanie for several years now and
we're actually meeting up with our friend Kelly who also lives in Huntsville and we're going to
a we got reservations for a four course with wine pairing dinner so yeah and the menu is
fantastic so yeah I'm excited for it I mean we're gonna have a low-key night after dinner or whatever
but well I also feel like New Year's is like you know at midnight everybody like kisses and it's
like always usually really awkward for me um because I haven't had anybody to like kiss on
New Year's for a very long time um and I haven't either and it's not that I mean I have someone now
but I'm not gonna be with them yeah but like also you'll be with Melanie and like yeah Kelly so
yeah it won't be weird but like it's always like me standing there around like 400 people and like
I can't even turn to be like whoa happy New Year's anybody because they're all making out with their
so this year Brandon's gonna be there I'm gonna be like what up Brandon let's high five
that's fair yeah I thought about it I was like I was gonna send to him a thing and I'll be like
Mason oh Mason's gonna be there too yay we'll have a little group hug yeah um all right cool
moving on moving on so tell me about your Christmas what all did you do what who'd you see
did you go somewhere well we did things a little bit different this year because the weather was
just cold and you know my dad has animals and stuff like that so Thomas and Jerry came up
I have my older cousin Amanda who lives in Texas comes before Christmas because she runs a barn
at her house and so she likes to give her staff off Christmas Eve and Christmas Day so they always
come before so they can hang out and I took the whole week off because that was the week after I
moved so I wanted to be able to you know sporadically make progress at home you know with the move-in and
then also be able to go back and forth to what we call the farm which is my grandmother's house in
Pell City you said back and forth like back and forth back and forth back and forth like you like
you're from uh you're speaking like Gaelic or something I don't know back and forth
Scottish I don't know what accent that is one of those I don't well I don't know I like it so funny
so I mean did that throughout the week and I don't know we had a meal out there on Christmas Eve but
then Jerry and Thomas and I stayed back on Christmas Day and hung out with the dogs and my dad tell us
who Thomas is Jerry's boyfriend okay yeah and so we just hung out all all day I mean throughout the
week the a couple times we went to my house and like watched a movie and just kind of hung out and
I mean Jerry hadn't seen my apartment yet either so cool yeah um Jerry helped me move my guest
bedroom around because I my favorite gift that I got for Christmas is um what is it you you don't
know about this no I got a new desk for work and oh cool a stand-up sit-down desk electronic stand-up
sit down electronic yeah you don't even have to like no I can push a button and it goes up and
I was only home for like a half a day to use it before I had to start house sitting for my
dad and Connie so I haven't put it fully to use yet but Brandon helped me put it together um
um and is the whole there's a whole thing moved up oh that's not and how big you think like 55
inches long 24 oh that's huge feet deep yeah or 24 feet 24 inches yeah okay cool yeah it's super
listen I sent them I didn't know if I was gonna get it or not and I sent them a link and I was
like this is what I would really like for Christmas because a lot of times we don't send lists they'll
just give us cash and I was like this is like what I really want and so I was hoping for it and
and so Connie was cute and she put it in a little mason jar this note in a little mason jar and then
you know wrapped the mason jar up and some like you know shiny crinkle paper or whatever and it
said go look in the dog room so I knew that I got the desk at that point I like hauled it back out
of there my dad's like how'd you carry that thing by yourself I was like I don't know I just dragged
it like whatever and I was like thank you guys so much and Connie goes Jerry said you didn't know
if you were getting and I was like well I didn't well you don't you never knew yeah I was like I
didn't want to know Connie was like it has been sitting in the kitchen with a blanket over it for
like two weeks that's so funny so like I saw the box sitting there but I didn't look at it I didn't
remove the because I didn't want to know I mean I was hoping that's what it was but I didn't want
to know I'm not gonna ruin it for myself why would I do that I don't know I feel like my mom always
ruins my presence because she'll be like I got oh by the way I got you this and I it came in and I
don't know about it like I think that you might not like it so I'm like why are you telling me
just let me decide when you give it this is the first year that my mom has not like seen the
presence before they come to me because I you know got a king-size bed and so I needed all the
fixings for it you know I needed a down comforter I needed a duvet I needed sheets I needed curtains
I wanted this blanket to go on the bed and she just got everything on Amazon I sent her the links
for it and she sent it straight to me so this is the first time that she's not like she's gotten a
list list for real and not bought sort of like random things that I don't know about that she's
unsure if I'm going to like yeah I mean Melanie like it or was she like oh no she liked it yeah
I finally when I first got everything put together they were having a really bad snowstorm
and their internet was being wacky and so FaceTime wouldn't work but I finally got to FaceTime her and
I showed her the apartment and she saw everything and she loves it did you ever your headboard fixed
so Sarah's headboard it's still rigged up the same way like came in new and like this one of
the screws like doesn't go through I don't understand it and so I tried helping her fix it but it's like

I don't even no I'm not I don't care I'm not sleeping on the floor you should send them a
picture and be like I've already set this up you should give me a discount listen I don't care
I don't care I'm not doing it it's too much work I'm not sleeping on the floor I know that's good
but like what happens if it breaks I'll figure it out okay I don't know well you know that's you I
can't let it bother me right now that's true I got too much shit going on I've been out of my

so when I fell down the stairs um and hurt my ankle I like you know had to crawl back into my
apartment and I'm like thinking I'm like who am I gonna call like it wasn't so much pain I was like
screaming and um honestly I don't know if any cuss words came out but probably did they probably
I mean like and so I called my mom and I was telling my mom and dad were on the phone with me
and I was this is later I was telling them how it happened and I was like yeah I'm like pretty sure
every cuss word came out of my mouth because it hurt so bad and you know honestly I was kind of
like overreacting I honestly don't know what words came out of my mouth I know was screaming
and I had to crawl myself into my condo and like figure out who to call to come help me um if I
needed to press the button on my alarm system for the I was like do I need to press this for the
ambulance to come and I was like no I'm not paying a copay for the ambulance let me call
the neighbors but yeah so my and my mom was like I'm just so disappointed and you like basically
she's like disappointed in me because she thinks that I'm her like sweetie and I'm not allowed to
cuss and she's like I don't cuss and I am like a pure little girl or something I don't know
and I was like I keep thinking about it and I'm like mom seriously I'm like oh my gosh
and then I but I kind of want to be like so it's okay for you to say cuss words but it's not okay
the whole podcast is it don't fuck for what
why is it okay for you and not and she but Karen she would probably come back with and be like
well I don't want you to be like your mother and I want you to be sweet like not like your mother
you are sweet though I know and saying a cuss word doesn't make you not sweet I know that's what I
say like I think there's a time and a place for cuss words and I think that you very much know
when those are yeah I do I try to make sure that when you fall and break your ankle you get to say
fuck that's what I said I was like and honestly I don't even know what came out of my mouth but I
feel like every cuss word in the in the book probably came out fair enough it was very painful
so anyway all right I don't know where we were how we got on that but let's move on um oh yeah
so uh let's just like you know just gonna remind you guys that that Sarah does not know how to wrap
a present and she still has not I haven't even practiced you haven't even practiced no did you
wrap any presents for Christmas God no did Brandon wrap any of your presents for you for Christmas
the one for my dad and Connie yes oh god listen I honestly on the way over here I we were I told
her I was gonna talk about this and I said can we stop at the dollar store and get some like
uh wrapping paper I don't know if there's a dollar store around the rest of the world but in Alabama
we have dollar trees and dollar stoves dollar general but honestly but it's not even a dollar
store anymore it's like dollar 99 store yeah of inflation thanks guys thanks for the inflation
um and because I was gonna make her wrap a present on here but I'm not gonna do it today
because I'm gonna practice first and then I will show you how good I am at it all right and I'm
gonna listen to white sword panic for you yeah exactly all right oh yeah it's snowed indicator
on on Monday Melanie you both sent pictures I know it was so cute yeah I love that for you
and I was gonna leave on Monday and then I was about I was gonna go to Huntsville first to see
my niece and then my brother called me and he's like hey is it snowing there and I was like what
and I looked out the window and there were some flurries and then it just like started coming down
all and it doesn't look so I know all you northerners and even Sarah she's seen the snow
but like we get snow like once every 10 years and we get like 10 years half an inch sometimes it's
like once a year but it just depends on how it happens like when it snowed indicator it had been
cold enough to where there was the potential if there was enough of it to cause it to freeze on
the ground and become icy and it would have not been good right but the reason why people don't
understand you know that we don't deal with that is because taxpayer money is what pays for the salt
trucks the sand trucks the plows and all that we're not going to put that time and money into that
exactly it's not going to happen so yes the south shuts down when it snows or if it ices and that's
just the way it is and it will forever be right and it did really it wasn't this bad that bad
this time because it was like you know six degrees for because we had that whole little storm thing
going on and we just kind of like let it go and then the next day it ended up getting up above
freezing and at that point I was just like I'm just gonna go so before it freezes back so that I can
yeah I mean it was definitely cold like my dad had to take like inches thick like layers of ice off
the water troughs for the horses the dog water bowls were freezing outside having to dump the
whole thing out oh yeah I left a diet coke in my car and it was frozen when I got back in there
it didn't explode I know well it wasn't in a can and it was it was like in a cut from like
McDonald's or somewhere like fast food like Sonic maybe I don't know look you had your homemade
I see right so yeah so we had some snow it was nice um anyway oh and my niece she made a snowman
and it's so funny because they use like raspberries for the lips and the raspberries
like like smushed everywhere and so it ended up looking like the joker from Batman like
ah why so serious you know like freaky I was like and Elizabeth was like poor Lola she's
too innocent to know that her snowman looks like the joker oh yeah straight murder snowman
that's funny all right so so you want to talk about resolutions yeah we can new year's resolutions
it's about to be 2023 I know it's wild I still feel like it's February of 20 well honestly I
still feel like it's February of 2020 I know it's crazy I still haven't gotten past COVID like I
still feel like the twilight zone still a little it's the weirdest I know nothing will ever be the
same can you imagine like being so it's so funny because I feel like we're like in the 1900s they
had like the like uh smallpox or something or like where people were like oh a pandemic
but like we think about that and we're like oh that was a long time ago like whatever it wasn't
a big deal but back the people back then were like gonna be in history books yeah it's history like
big time history and like little kids that are being born now and like later they're gonna be
like what was that why you know I mean I and the kids that went to kindergarten for the first time
during COVID like crazy yeah but apparently test scores and stuff like that from kids like for
they're like really bad because I'm not surprised I mean think about it though when you were a kid
if you had to remote learn how how much are you really gonna focus on that I mean I I may have if
I was a little kid but like I don't know that I would have and mostly because I loved the social
aspect of school that that was something that really kept me engaged but I also you know took
some online classes throughout college and I did much worse in my online classes than I did in the
classroom well because it's easy to like not do it yeah yeah for sure so okay so do you do resolutions
normally absolutely not okay cool tell me why because I don't like to fail at things
and you know you're gonna and I don't have self-control and you're the type of person
that doesn't do things if they think they're gonna fail 100% that's not good Sarah I mean not always
like I took my new job that I have and I knew nothing about fintech but I am excelling so I
mean I'll take risks sometimes but not when it comes to I mean I'm gonna my resolution is to make
more conscious decisions about food and alcohol okay that's a good one yeah I like that when's the
last time you had a resolution that you did one like I don't think I did one last year I mean years
ago probably how long did you stick with it I stuck with it long enough for my dog Greta at the time
to start faking injuries so she didn't have to go on walks anymore was it to go on walks every day
we I would walk every day after I got home from work and she was making injuries like at first
she would do it like towards the end or whatever and then she started doing it in the very beginning
and I got to the point where she would like fake an injury we would go home and then she would eat
dinner and then I figured out she just wanted to go home so she could eat dinner so then I was like
fine if you're gonna fake an injury you're not eating right now you can eat in a little while
because I didn't want her to associate faking an injury yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah a little hooker
at least she figured that out yeah well because she would like lift up a paw and be like oh I'm hurt
and then I would like do all this examining how do you know that it was fake because I would examine
it and make sure that she was fine and she was fine oh my gosh yeah she was a trickster did she
like ever limp or anything like the next day like oh she like not even hours later she was like oh
it hurts and then yes yes I know I didn't know she was like that type of dog she was so smart um so
smart yeah she knew every word that came out of my mouth gretta and then jolene is a terrorist
yeah but she likes to go on walks so you could do that again I guess I could
so how long do you think that lasted I mean it was months for sure that's good yeah I finally I
started leaving gretta at home I was like I'm still going on this walk I there's no reason why I can't
walk even if my dog doesn't want to yeah I don't know resolutions I like I got to the point where
I would like just like not do it because I was like nobody ever sticks to them and then honestly
it shouldn't be a new year's resolution it should just be like a lifestyle change right it shouldn't
have to be like oh let me just do it for this year or whatever like I don't know but I think about it
and I'm like sometimes people need that like oh that time hey it's it's a new year let me try to
change something or like make something better do whatever you want to do yeah for yourself or for
others or whatever and sometimes you need that like boost of hey this is time to do it's time
to do it now because like I think that's fair I mean I'm never gonna be a gym rat come January 1
because it's just a shit show in there during that time but I mean I've been needing to get back in
the gym for a while now well you know what we can just get on this little guy right here this little
nordic track yeah like thingy turn the screen around and we can uh we can do some exercises on
there before we record or we can do it while we're recording you want to I would be so out of breath
nobody would understand what I'm saying we could though we could ride for 20 minutes a piece each
before we record yeah we might have to do that we'll do that okay yeah all right we'll let you
guys know how that goes and how long it lasts because I'm gonna go with not long okay I mean
but like are we doing that once a week because it's only once a week yeah well we might have to meet
here twice a week oh we do already okay yeah okay so yeah I don't know I don't know if I'm going to
do a resolution I thought about earlier today like maybe doing something with work um like being nice
to people even when they're assholes excuse my language mom like the people that are um
there are just so many people that they're just not they just don't know what they're doing when
they're doing it maybe or they know what they're doing I don't know there's just certain people that
just tick me off and sometimes I'm not I feel like maybe I am nice to them I might be nice to them
but um in my head I have bad feelings towards them and so I kind of want to like change my thought
process about it I think that that is a good idea and I don't know if I'm gonna like get this quote
right or not but I mean it's from Brandon but he just tells me that like when he gets up during
the day or whatever that he just says it's gonna be a good day today and oh yeah then he has good
day yeah I used to play that song um it's gonna be a good day uh and ain't nobody gonna cry today
yeah I don't know the words and I'm gonna start your morning with yeah I love that so I used to
play that like every morning especially like I would sit down and be like okay there's this
email right here is really taking me off so I'd like tell you know alexa to um you have to spell
her name so she doesn't talk back to you um to play that song and then it would be a good day
well I think you might have to start that again yeah um but yeah maybe something for work like um
I don't know maybe like trying to have a more positive attitude I think one thing that like
I've always struggled with is my tone in like my emails and things like that for work and or just
like so pump the brakes maybe take 10 seconds before you reply to something
talk to yourself about whatever you're feeling and find out if like it's a legit feeling or if
you're just like having a moment and right you're being pissy for a moment and it's really not that
deep and can you change the way you feel about it right yeah it's a good good idea I mean I try to
do that so a lot of times I'll like set put yourself a sticky note on your on one of your
monitors it says 10 second rule 10 second rule yeah is that like don't send the email after 10
seconds I know I yeah don't send an email immediately when I was in the office and I had
to share an office with this guy he doesn't he doesn't work with us anymore but um I remember
I would like somebody would send me an email and I would get so mad and I'd be like typing
and I type loud anyways and I type like real loud like my typing is just like
like and but when I would like get mad or like be real serious he would turn around be like oh he
was like you need to you need to reread that email before you send it and I'd be like can you come
can you can read this real quick like yeah um because I'd be like I can't believe this person
yeah 10 second rule yep so anyway yeah so I don't know I don't really have any more
um resolutions or I have a resolution for you okay what start dating again
but who am I gonna date that's a problem you know who you got any friends get on the apps
it's so difficult it's so hard I didn't want to tell I feel like I'm gonna renegotiate our
um agreement as far as wrapping presents go I'll learn how to wrap a present if you get back on
the tenders no no we've already agreed to the Weitzberg panic no that is not a thing yeah if
you guys you know look maybe we should do podcast dating like hey guys how's it going I'm pimping
myself out yeah I love that but I need you to have a steady job um keep going I mean it would be
great if you don't have children uh if you what else I mean I don't know let me think don't ask
me this is you boo like are cool fun not weird like easy going easy going get along with my friends
like to go kayaking like to do things that I like to do have your own friends too you need to have
your own I mean you don't have to but like you know like go to Dave Matthews oh I do like Dave
Matthews yeah you can't like not like him and if you don't like him you just don't have to like
I mean you can tell me but like you still have to go with me yeah um and don't judge me about it
uh let's see I don't know what else do you think somebody that those are all good yeah your list
can't be too long well no it's not that big of a list and honestly just don't get on my nerves

thick oh no I think that's a good start so if anyone would like to go on a date with Emily
you can send us an email at thick af podcast at gmail.com also you probably need to live in like
the Birmingham Alabama area um yeah I mean unless you're like a bajillionaire like that would be
great you can fly down here in a private jet yeah what if you call that a life sponsor yeah yeah no
that a sponsor yeah but like you know I'd date you too if you wanted you wanted to come down here
just no serial killers serial serial killers need not apply um who else not need not apply sexual
predators well you know but yes um uh what else let's say um uh uh things like that are why
Melanie says you have terrible tastes she said I have terrible tastes oh it's because of the
people that I've talked about on here yes I was like she doesn't know anybody but yeah no apparently
I do she said that straight to your face when we were here this is why I've stopped dating
because apparently I keep picking the wrong ones geez or the wrong ones are picking me I'm not
really sure but um but yeah hello here I am thick af podcast at gmail.com but uh also you have to
pay for the date first date at least for sure absolutely and it has to be a good place actually
